I've seen the future, and it's $0/month

From now on, let us make tech lead insights be free!

I love Substack so far and was kind of excited about the idea of making a few bucks from a few subscribers. “Why not?” I thought. My content is that good.* Seriously. Just ask my mom :-)

But after reflecting on what I’m trying to accomplish, which is to try to help as many people as possible be more effective and struggle less than I did, charging for these weekly letters seems pretty inconsistent with that goal.

Happy birthday to me 🎂

And besides, yesterday was my birthday.

So as my gift to you, let’s get back to our roots and do this for free from now on.

In the future, I’m thinking I might offer some kind of education or certification program, which I think could be really useful for you and would definitely take enough effort from me that I should charge for it, but for now let’s keep these articles free!

*People can be weird and often misunderstand me. Seriously was meant as a joke.
